Description
Join a full compliment of hosts for a trawl through this week's aviation news stories. In today's programme there's good news as Cathay Pacific start adding flights to the UK, there's bad news as the UK's Chancellor INCREASES Air Passenger Duty and there's good news as Easyjet release their winter schedule. In the military NASA Is Building Its Supersonic X-Plane Out of Old Warbirds and two Futuristic looking Aircraft Will Compete to Replace the Army’s Black Hawk. Nev shares with us his return flight to Newcastle as Nev's Passenger Experience returns; he also takes a turn in an A320 Simulator in Cambridge. We're looking for positive news stories to all keep us going so if you come across one, please send it to us via podcast@planetalkinguk.com.
